Interesting article on the odds you face when you have a three-game road trip. The bottom line is that few teams do well.

Excerpts:

"From 1990 through the 2010 season in the NFL, there have been 106 road swings. Only nine teams went 3-0. Just 29 had a winning record at 2-1. Fifty-one of those trips ended with the teams going 1-2, and another 17 teams dropped all three games."

... and ...

"Of the 106 such trips, road teams won the first game 50 times. That number falls to 40 in the second game, then bounces up to 43 in the final game of the trip."
